Guild Wars 2

While I’m glad to see Dishonor finally implemented in some form, I’m confused as to why the vast majority of the profession changes today consisted only of “reducing visual noise” or fixing situational bugs. The game plan that Anet outlined prior to HoT’s release consisted of having a major balance patch two weeks before the start of each season, and then making adjustments to the developing meta in the time before the competition began.

We seem to have skipped the major balance patch, so what does this mean for the time leading up to the start of the first PvP season? Are there still going to be adjustments made in the next two weeks to the meta that’s developed since launch, or is this the final draft for balance this cycle? Are we not going to see any changes to any of the elite specs, underpowered professions, or other problem builds for another three months?

Most of the community seemed to be expecting major changes today, since this aligned with the schedule Anet laid out for us, and there was no developer communication indicating that plans for the balance schedule had shifted (or that they were skipping the balance changes this time around). Could we please have some sort of update regarding the plans for this? Right now, this doesn’t seem to bode well for the future of PvP balance, and I think it’s important that the community not be left completely in the dark about PvP development in the upcoming weeks/months. Communication leading up to HoT’s release had been excellent and had the community in good spirits, and I’d hate to see that disappear again in the future.

Please keep discussion here civil.

“Most of the community” Ehhh no, it just happens that the loudest people (crying ones) are the ones posting the most, the rest are playing the game or doing something else.

rigth now, pvp is the most boring in history of gw2

and you think it’s fine, lol

+1 to OP

The slow as molasses pace of balance changes with almost zero communication is destroying this game.

Do better, Arenanet.

Lack of communication is the worst, e.g. Rangers would love to know if new Astral energy regeneration is bug or fix to not working properly with some skills. Yet since it wasn’t mentioned by patch notes or communicated by our dev, we don’t know.
